Bill Clinton criticized Donald Trump over his donation to Pam Bondi, praised UCF's scientific investments and held up Orlando as an example of how America should embrace the LGBT and Muslim communities during an Orlando campaign rally Wednesday for Hillary Clinton.

Before a crowd of about 400 in a small gym at the Dr. James R. Smith Neighborhood Center in southwest Orlando, Clinton defended the work done by his Clinton Foundation, while taking a shot at the Trump Foundation's $25,000-contribution to Florida Attorney General Bondi.

The donation was made shortly before Bondi decided not to pursue a fraud investigation of Trump University.
